I have a few torx bits that *seem* to fit, but none of them seem to grab - the screws in the PCB seem so shallow or different in some style to other torx screws. Am I missing something? What is the right tool for this job? I don't want to try to force the bit I've got and strip the screws... Thank you!

Pepe, cheque the originate of the tools when you buy. And endeavor to avoid the tools wich have made in v letter named country wich starts with "C". Janos

I wasn't successful in that apparently This is information technology: http://www.wiha.com/germany/Onlineshop/ ... ESD-TORX-R and written "MADE IN Federal republic of germany" on the handle... This must be fine I guess. T9 from this won't fit into HDD screws. Merely as I told u I have other not and then branded T9 screwdrivers that fits. I simply thougth that the Wiha should exist taken every bit a reference... _________________ Adatmentés - Data recovery No bitcoin donations

Though I apply several sets of tools, and each T8 does seem to be slightly dissimilar size which is why some of my tools are a better fit than others despite beign same size!
